I highly recommend Little Orchard Montessori Nursery - Sparkwell. My son loves going and runs out telling me how much fun he has had! The range of activities is very good. The children spend a lot of time outside all year round. Activities and learning is tailored to the season and calendar events.
Children learn useful independent skills such as doing their own drinks and coats and shoes. Lots of photos and information is sent home via the app.

As if going back to work full time after maternity leave wasn't stressful enough, we had to find somewhere for our 1 year old daughter to go full time. She was super clingy so we were worried about where she would enjoy and fit in. We considered childminders and visited a couple of nurseries before
deciding that the Sparkwell setting was the one for us.
A year on, our daughter has thrived massively at Little Orchard, she's so vocal about everything and has become really independent, and has developed a love for singing! The nursery has a fantastic and spacious outdoor area, food is healthy and made fresh every day, and the nursery app is fantastic- we can see everything she gets up to through the day and all the new things she's learning there.
Couldn't recommend the nursery enough, the staff are wonderful and my daughter loves them all so much she even talks about them when she's at home.
Above all, I pick her up and she's absolutely beaming and so happy. What more could we want!

The nursery's setting is beautiful with horses and deer on the doorstep. My children have settled in so well and love all the staff like they are family. The nursery is definitely a home from home.

My eldest child attended this nursery and my youngest currently does, I cannot recommend it enough. Both have/are extremely comfortable and happy in this environment and think the world of all the staff. In terms of development they have played a vital part in helping them to become the wonderful
children they are today.

Both my children went to Little Orchard Sparkwell from six months old. They have loved their time at Little Orchard. My little girl who still attends the nursery loves the outdoor space and all aspects of nursery day to day activities.
The food is all fresh and healthy and cooked from the very own
chef. The choice is amazing. The staff are friendly and get to know each child. Every morning you're greeted with a friendly welcome and our daughter cannot wait to run off with her friends and staff.
I would highly recommend Little Orchard for all aspects, from learning, outdoor space, activities, great food, brilliant staff and knowing your children are well looked after.

Three of our children go to this nursery because it is such a great facility and the staff go above and beyond.
Our three year old has enjoyed the past two years at the nursery and we are hoping our twins love it just as much as they grow up.


We get notifications of new things they have learnt

through an online journal which includes photos as well as being told at the end of the day what our children have done. The food is cooked fresh and all of ours love it.
